Verse
Can't you hear the wind calling out my name
Can't you hear the wind calling out my name
I shot two men in a barroom fight and now I swing the hammer all day
Can't you hear the wind calling out my name

Verse
I got shackles on my feet a number for my name
Got shackles on my feet a number for my name
That blood like those chains around my legs, be til my dying day
I got shackles on my feet a number for my name

Verse
And that mean old sun is beating me down
That mean old sun is beating me down
Got that old boss man, old shotgun and that old blood hound
Well the mean old sun is beating me down

Verse
So I said Lord, Lord have mercy on poor me
I said Lord, Lord have mercy on poor me
If that blood that was shed up on the cross truly set me free
Than Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on poor me

Verse
Can't you hear the wind calling out my name
Can't you hear the wind
Can't you hear the wind
Can't you hear the wind calling out my name
